Here are two episodes, one from the early part of the series ("The Freezer," episode 29) and one from the later years ("Lucy and Superman," episode 166). The wacky "Freezer" episode is an antics one, in which Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) and her best friend Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance) have one of their schemes to make money: this time Lucy has acquired a walk-in meat freezer, plus two sides of beef. She and Ethel begin their own meat market, competing with the local butcher. Needless to say, they run into trouble, and in an effort to cover their tracks, Lucy gets locked in the freezer. Just imagining Lucy as the human Popsicle brings a smile.
After Little Ricky's birth, Lucy was a devoted mother. Nevertheless, she remained as zany as ever and got into just as many scrapes. In "Lucy and Superman," Lucy is desperate to please her Superman-loving son. In a scenario many mothers can relate to, a classmate is having his birthday party on the same day as Little Ricky's. Lucy decides that the best way to entice guests is to have Superman make an appearance, but when the plan falls through, as these things often do, she takes on the action hero's role herself. TV's Superman star, George Reeves, guests.
These episodes are an interesting couplet. They may not share an obvious theme, but they're both about Lucy hilariously scheming and covering up a grandiose idea or boast. Both are familiar territory and employ a recurring theme (effectively fresh each time) throughout the series' successful run. --N.F. Mendoza

I must say that there is a touch of nostalgia and sentimentality as I watch this truly amazing episode. The show brings alot of childhood memories. There is great anticipation as we wait for Lucy to attempt to get none other than Superman to come to little Ricky's Birthday party. She is attempting to compete with her friend for having a greater attraction to a rivaling birthday party. She wins a coup with the expectation of having Superman attend. Lucy , then panics when she is told that Superman ... Read More

There have been a lot of great episodes in the "I Love Lucy" series, all with great moments, but being a fan of Superman, seeing these two together is a great treat.
First we've got to understand that it is George Reeves playing Superman that stands out (in lieu of Superman straight out), and while it isn't said right out, the implication is there.
The gag with Lucy being on the edge of the building was played out rather well, and the punch-line that George gave "You've ... Read More

THE FREEZER is a superior episode of I LOVE LUCY. The scenes in the kitchen are very well played and when Lucy tries to sell some of "the beast of burden" from a baby carriage in a butcher shop, it's a riot! The plump blonde lady who asks "but how can you sell it so cheap?" is played by Barbara Pepper whom Lucy had known since they were Goldwyn Girls together in 1933. Pepper was originally considered for the part of Ethel Mertz (along with Bea Benederet) but the notion was quickly dismissed ... Read More
